Stats / Weaknesses:

• Onix (Level 62, Rock/Ground): Weak to Grass and Water. Watch out for Earthquake, Iron Tail, Stealth Rock, and Rock Slide.
• Hitmonchan (Level 62, Fighting): Weak to Psychic and Fairy. Can use Feint (priority), Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, and Ice Punch.
• Poliwrath (Level 62, Water/Fighting): Weak to Grass, Flying, Psychic, and Fairy. Knows Earthquake, Waterfall, Superpower, and Body Slam.
• Alolan Golem (Level 62, Rock/Electric): Weak to Ground and Grass. Uses Rock Slide, Thunder Punch, Superpower, and Earthquake.

• Hitmonlee (Level 62, Fighting): Weak to Psychic and Fairy. Has High Jump Kick, Feint, Rock Slide, and Poison Jab.

Strategy:

• Bruno's lead is his Onix, just like before. Your best bet is to one-shot it with a strong Grass or Water-type move before it can set up Stealth Rock. This prevents chip damage to your incoming Pokémon.
• Next up is Hitmonchan. It's got some tricky coverage moves like Fire, Thunder, and Ice Punch, plus Feint to get around Protect. Psychic or Fairy-types are your best bet here. Ghost-types can also wall it pretty well.
• Poliwrath is a tough one with Earthquake to counter Electric-types, along with its usual strong moves. Stick with Grass, Flying, Psychic, or Fairy-types to take it down.
• Bruno's brought an Alolan Golem this time! Its Electric typing means it's weak to Ground and Grass. It's got STAB Rock Slide and Thunder Punch, plus Superpower and Earthquake. Ground-types will shut it down hard.
• Machamp is still Bruno's powerhouse. It's got Superpower, Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Ice Punch. A strong Psychic or Fairy-type Pokémon will make short work of it.
• Finally, Hitmonlee is back with a new move, Poison Jab, which means Fairy-types need to be a little careful. However, Psychic-types are still your safest bet against it.
